  • 1.  OMS isn't honouring OUTPUT MODIFY

    I run some regressions and apply some OUTPUT MODIFY immediately after each regression and finally for all of them.
    In the viewer (left in screenshots) everything looks as expected. However, in OMS_generated *.spv files (right), some of the modifications are missing, others (table colouring) are incorrect.

    Please note the differences in outline headers, table colouring, table title prefixes.
    Also, table are missing in both OMS results, but only for coefficients tables.

    Any ideas what’s going on here and how I could possibly fix it?

    Also, table *notes* are missing in both OMS results, but only for coefficients tables.

     OMS works in the Statistics backend, so it does not see anything that happens in the Viewer.  Sos it would never see changes made by OUTPUT MODIFY.  If you want to save objects in the Viewer, you would need to use OUTPUT EXPORT, which runs in the frontend.

    OUTPUT EXPORT does not provide as much control over item selection as OMS does, but the SPSSINC MODIFY OUTPUT extension command offers most of the same selection controls as OMS, and you can use it to do exports.  See the excelexport function in the customoutput.py file installed with SPSSINC MODIFY OUTPUT command for an example.
